January 8, 2010This is a really fun, sweet movie. I don't usually like road trip movies much, but this one really appealed to me. I guess I have respect for Star Wars nerds (especially when they're up against Trekkies. *shudders* I have a phobia) and I myself speak in dorky film references, whi...( read more)

October 8, 2009Good comedy about Star Wars fans taking a road trip. Highlight - fight between them and the trekkies

August 1, 2009This comedy about a couple of geeks who plan to break into George Lucas' Skywalker ranch to see Star Wars Episode 1 months before the start for their dying friend is a riot - although mostly for Star Wars fans. They will be the ones who get the tons of quotes, references, cameos ...( read more)

July 2, 2009If you are living in the 90s and you find out your friend is going to die ( I know kind of bummer in a comedy...but no one is perfect... ) what better way to have him spend his last days, then to break into Skywalker ranch and watch an illegal copy of Episode One?

January 26, 2010I was really surprised how much I enjoyed this film. "Fanboys" had several laugh out loud scenes and if you're a "Star Wars" fan, this film is for you. Full of nostalgia, nonsense and plenty of surprises..."Fanboys" delivers. A great Saturday night flick to see with a group o...( read more)

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Genial and potty-mouthed and dumb and sweet -- a rudely engaging road comedy with more inside Star Wars baseball than a convention hall full of Imperial Grand Moffs. full review
February 6, 2009
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though it does feature a few inspired comic moments, there is a surplus of tired, overused gags. full review

Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com
The comic Force is with Fanboys, a hilarious and heartwarming film about the wondrous powers of movies that last a lifetime. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
For its amusing premise, Fanboys is scarily flat. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fanboys is an amiable but disjointed movie that identifies too closely with its heroes. Poking a little more fun at them would have been a great idea. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
It's a ticklish footnote to the Star Wars phenomenon. full review
